RZ30 - The 12 month calendar Amendment - 5 Clarks Version

Published in Clark #6

WHEREAS there were talks about creating fixed elections AND

WHEREAS no one ever did anything about it AND

WHEREAS I am not sure it's a good idea, but perhaps this can strike a discussion

THEREFORE the Ziu resolves to put in a referendum the following changes to the Organic Law, but only if this amendment gets more Cosa votes than RZ25, in which case the referendum for RZ25 is hereby cancelled and RZ25 is considered to have failed.

All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the fifteenth day of the calendar month following the dissolution of the prior Cosa until 7:30 p.m. on the first day of the subsequent month. The first day of this period (the fifteenth) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."

Is replaced with:
